Hercules
Overview
Dwayne Johnson stars as the son of Zeus in this Brett Ratner-directed adaptation of Steve Moore's Radical Comics graphic novel THE THRACIAN WARS. As the story opens, a haunted Hercules (Johnson) travels Greece with his five loyal companions, capitalizing on his heroic reputation by selling his services for gold. When a malevolent warlord threatens to thrust the kingdom of Thrace into chaos, however, its desperate ruler and his daughter turn to Hercules to restore the peace. In order to succeed, Hercules must once again summon the strength and valor that once made him a myth among men. Joseph Fiennes, Ian McShane, and Rufus Sewell co-star.

Movie Reviews
Reviews:
3 stars out of 4 -- "[A] sword-and-sandal spectacle that entertains….This HERCULES Hercules proves surprisingly knowing of the legend -- and surprisingly willing to tweak it." - 07/25/2014 USA Today
"[A] scaled down club-and-sandals movie with a good ratio of scenery-chewing to choppy-shutter-angle skull-cracking." -- Grade: B- - 07/25/2014 A.V. Club
3 stars out of 5 -- "HERCULES' battles are impressively practical: good ol’ fashioned human-on-human rough-housing with only minor digital augmentation. Ratner keeps it real." - 07/25/2015 Empire
3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he CGI and 3D are decent, and helicopter shots over rocky mountains bring something of a LORD OF THE RINGS-style scope to the proceedings." - 07/23/2015 Total Film
